How do I get Warewolf into my C# application?

You need to use it at your service layer. All Workflows are hosted as web services that can return XML or JSON data.

For example you have a workflow called MyWorkflow you want to invoke from C#. You need to use a WebRequest to invoke the Warewolf service via a URL like http://localhost:3142/services/MyWorkflow.xml

You can then take the response data and parse the XML into an object. 
Or you could change the extension from .xml to .json like http://localhost:3142/services/MyWorkflow.json
This will cause the service to return JSON data you can convert to POCO object with a JSON libary like the one here http://james.newtonking.com/json
you can then use this POCO in your C# application.

All workflows are re-usable via the Explorer in the Studio.
You just need to drag it from the explorer onto your new workflow to re-use it.

Be sure to map your inputs and outputs when re-using a workflow.

Currently (Beta) Workflows are version-ed automaticaly and stored for later use. The retrieval process is manual but we are working on an interface to make it simple.

Can you edit variables at run time?

Currently this is not possible. Once a workflow has been called, it will run its course given the inputs provided.
Once the User interaction (Webpages) piece is done, you will be able to interact with the workflow if its built into the process.

Hi There

I was tried to develop a small workflow which should execute depends on run time input values.
When I execute it should ask

if age  > 30
{
I want output as "Not Qualified"
}
Else
{
Full Name-
Contact details-

But when I click on execute 'Warewolf' is asking all the details at a time.

Please advise is this possible by using warewolf.????

At this point in time we do not support human interaction.
Hence why you need to enter all data up front.

Hi
What new features have you got in the pipeline?
My company is looking for something like Warewolf but with a client facing UI, something like K2 Smart Forms. 
Have you got any plans for this?
Thanks,

Pricing

Anonymous 12 years ago updated by Gandalf 12 years ago 0
We're want to use Warewolf in an upcoming project but are concerned about future pricing implications once it's out of beta. I don't want to get dependant and then get hit with big licencing fees.
What are your plans for pricing in the future?
Answer
Gandalf 12 years ago
Great question that deserves a simple answer.

We do not know.

We want to keep Warewolf Free. We see it as a tool in the back pocket of every dev team. Because we cannot guarantee what the long term pricing is at this stage, and we understand your concern, we will guarantee that it will never be above $500 per year for installations prior to licencing.

Hi Warewolf
Down the line, will you offer other kinds of support for your application, or will it just be this portal?
Thanks

Expose as a service

Anonymous 12 years ago updated by anonymous 12 years ago 1
To use Warewolf, would we need to expose it as a service?
Answer
anonymous 12 years ago
You can also call a workflow workflow from SQL.
See the Samples folder in the Warewolf install directory for an example of this.
